Detailed Answer:

Hi,

As you mention you have recovered from cold and suffering from dry cough, considering 18 weeks pregnant I would recommend a cough syrup containing dextromethorphan such as Benadryl DR Syrup on SOS basis until cough subsides. Drink plenty of oral fluids to prevent dehydration and continue antenatal supplements.
